How Poker has Evolved
The Poker game's past is a mystery and cannot be tracked to any certain
point in the history of card games. It does resemble a Persian game
called NAS and may have been introduced to the United States by sailors
who came into New Orleans. The French Canadians who came to New Orleans
to help the city settle may have also brought in versions of the game of
poker with them. However we do know that the game traveled up the
Mississippi as a game of choice for gamblers who primarily were the
paddle wheelers. The game that was played then was the 5-card stud. The
popularity of the poker game grew from the saloons along the river and
was carried to the heartland by soldiers and frontiersmen who loved to
gamble amongst friends.

Origins of Poker
The origins of the fascinating poker game are somewhat in dispute. Many
say that it bears similarities from the ancient Persian game of As Nas
and has its roots in said game. However, it is commonly thought that the
French brought their game "poque," meaning to brag (really, in this case,
to brag about something untrue, or to bluff), to the American south,
where local dialects transformed it from "poque" to "pokah" and then
"poker."

Poker Addiction
Poker can be extremely addictive when not gambling responsibly and one of
the reasons it’s banned in so many countries and states in the USA. Poker
can give you similar feelings as that of being on drugs or pills. Look at
the characteristics of most poker players and you can similarly compare
them to cocaine addicts.

Internet poker has got a lot better in helping players out with their
addiction. They place automatic holds on player accounts who deposit too
quickly. There are deposit maximums you can set to stop you from losing
too much in a given week. I would even suggest contacting the poker rooms
and having them ban you from their site to keep you from playing. Call or
email all the sites you have accounts with and put an end to it. You can
even call your bank to not let them accept any more transactions from
poker sites.

Unibet Poker's CEO Heads to France Monday

Petter Nylander, CEO of Swedish firm Unibet, was
released to the more comfortable surroundings of a local hotel
after agreeing to remain in the Netherlands, after his brief
appearance in the Amsterdam District Court Wednesday afternoon,
where his legal team told an extradition hearing they would not
fight his transfer to France on a warrant of arrest issued in June
this year at the behest of French gambling monopolies.
On Monday, Nylander was detained at Schipol airport under a French
arrest warrant after failing to appear before a French judge who is
investigating the company's alleged breach of a state monopoly on
online gambling.
His arrest was the boldest action in a campaign to save two French
gambling monopoly operators, created in the 19th century: the
Francaise des Jeux (FDJ) which runs lotteries, and the Pari Mutuel
Urbain (PMU) a monopoly operator of betting on horse racing,
sports, lotteries and other forms of gambling in France...
